Nino Franco, "Rustico", Prosecco di Valdobbiadene, Veneto, NV:

This sparkling wine is made by the tank method, using the prosecco grape. This is one of the best Prosecco’s out there. Here, there was really nice fruitiness, light peaches and a touch of mineral character. But overall, Prosecco is a rather simple, clean, easy drinking bubbly to drink as a light aperitif. This bottling had just a touch of sweetness and was a bit rounder than others.

Note: if you want something sweeter, look for “extra dry” on the label.

My score: 89; $17
